Welcome to Pimms and Needles
Pimm’s and Needles are a Community Interest Company, which organise fun and friendly ladies groups at venues across the North East and North Yorkshire.
Our groups are open to ladies aged 16 and above, who meet once a month to take part in a range of activities. We have woman that come with friends, family or on their own, we’re very welcoming and our groups are a great way to make new friends in your local community.
Each month we offer a different activity, whether its arts and crafts, one of our artisan food sessions, dancing, beauty and wellbeing, or getting our hands dirty with some gardening! Our sessions are all about having fun and getting involved – enjoying the journey rather than worrying about the outcome!

Get involved in our creative workshops!
Organisers Charlotte and Donna like to offer their members something a little bit different but sometimes find it’s not possible to offer some activities at the usual monthly meetings due to the size of the group or cost and time involved.
Over the past three years Pimm’s and needles members and guests have been treated to many opportunities to try out new and exciting crafts and activities in a more intimate sized group as extra session.
The ladies have bagged some top artists and designers to host silver ring-making afternoons, singing workshops, sewing and textiles sessions as well as organising more social activities such as cinema trips, party nights out and fun clothes swapping evenings.
Pimm’s and Needles seems to attract like-minded creative people who are interested in learning new skills and meeting new people.
